      I am currently trying to get ES up and running on a fresh/updated copy of Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and I have PS2, N64, GameCube emulators all working just fine. I also utilize ES on a Pi4b.

      I am trying to get the lr-genesis-plus-gx emulator working. When launching any ROM, it loads retroarch to a black screen. I can open the retroarch menu and make changes and exit retroarch back to ES, but no game actually loads. I have put the verbose logging below. I have tried Picodrive/Dgen and other Genesis emulators with no success. Any ideas on how to get the genesis emulator working?

      retropie@retropie-U:~$ /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-genesis-plus-gx/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch.cfg "/home/retropie/RetroPie/roms/megadrive/Sonic the Hedgehog (JUE) [!].bin" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg --verbose

        @SubZ3r0 said in Genesis Emulator not working properly on Ubuntu:
